elaborate.
Industrial Automation Systems (IAS)
Capstone project #1
Program course: ELPT 2449 Industrial Automation
1. The following assignment is identified as an IAS program capstone project. It evaluates
the student’s knowledge of curriculum and training in CETT 1402 (Basic Electricity),
ELPT 2419 (Introduction to PLCs), ELPT 1441 (Motor Control), ELMT 2433 Industrial
Electronics, and ITNW 1325 Fundamentals of Networking, RBTC 1405 Robotic
Fundamentals, and ELPT 2449 Industrial Automation.
Part 1: Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)/AFD circuit design:
Project assignment: As a plant Electronic Technician, you have been assigned to design,
construct, and program a PLC automated control circuit for a turntable conveyor system to paint
parts. The circuit integrates conventional switching devices with PLC operations and Adjustable
Frequency Drive (AFD) motion control along with an analog temperature control device (pot).
The project has four tasks to be performed by the student and each task must be approved by the
instructor before preceding to the next task. Students will be evaluated on the level of Mastery of
Content, Proficient at Content, Competent at Content, or Not Satisfactory completing project. A
time milestone of 20 hours is the course benchmark for completion of this capstone project. If
course time allows, students may use extended hours to complete the project with a reduction of
grading points.
3
Scenario: A finished mill part is placed on a conveyor belt system to move through the
final stage of completion. The robotic arm will place parts onto a turntable on the conveyor belt.
The conveyor belt runs a consist speed of 10 Hz and stops at the two stations (Dual Start/Stop) in
the painting department (Start/Stop PB). Once the part reaches the sprayer, a limit switch (LS1)
turns on the paint sprayer and starts rotating the turntable @ 20 Hz for 10 seconds. After this
process, the conveyor starts back @ 10 HZ, and the turntable stops. The part continues on the
conveyor until it reaches the heating unit where it again stops (LS2) and starts the turntable @ 30
Hz for 20 seconds to dry the part. The conveyor then starts to take part in the palletizing
department where another robotic arm places the part onto the pallet for final drying and
shipment.
The technician will, also, design a lighting system to indicate the movement (start/stop)
of the conveyor, the spraying process, the heating process. Also, the process will need a flashing
light to indicate a trouble situation, which is indicated by the operator pushing an emergency stop
button. The student will also program a robotic arm to perform the material handling function.
A Compact logic trainer will be used to develop and construct a static wiring circuit for
the project scenario. A pre-connected Allen Bradley MicroLogic 1400 units will be used as the
offline/online programming controllers Fanuc robotic arms to simulate the material handling
process.
Tasks: For Project assessment, the student will earn points the following as assigned through
capstone rubrics.
1. Connect wiring points
2. Quality of wiring
3. Programming of PLC
4. Programming of AFD
5. Edit and document of comments on PLC program
6. Design System drawings using Solidworks Electrical
7. Operational check of circuit

TECM 1303 Technical Calculations - Specific mathematical calculations required by
business, industry, and health occupations.
Solve technical math problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; convert
between whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals; perform calculations
involving percents, ratios, and proportions; and convert numbers to different units of
measurement (standard and/or metric).
Randy Brooks states that he works with quite a few people who have difficulties speaking to
others. He believes the speech class should stay put.
Chris Venegas agreed with speech staying, says that is a big issue with people able to
communicate with co-workers.
Randy Brooks went on to say that you must know how to communicate to be successful.
Dakota says speech is a skill that is needed in the industry.
Chris Venegas says when he went to speech class, he did not enjoy it but now realizes that it was
needed and has helped him in his career.
16
Shana Drury explained to Mark Holcomb that the committee could take out Macroeconomics.
Randy said he has taken macro and micro and marco is needed in the program.
Kelly states that speech must stay in because the students have to communicate with others in the
field and must learn how to do that.
Shana states that the program can keep speech and macroeconomics and take out the humanity
elective.
Chris Venegas says the students do not favor the humanity elective. That removing the course
would be a good benefit.
After much discussion, Ken Theimer asked for a motion to approve program with revisions of
removing MATH 1314 and removing the humanities elective.
Chris Venegas made motion to approve program with revisions.
Lori Leonard second the motion.
The motion to approve program with revisions passed.
Mark Holcomb explains that he would like to change the name of the program. Mark Holcomb
explained that this would help the program receive more funding. Mr. Holcomb presented the
committee with the name of “Energy and Electrical Technology.”
Ken Theimer asked the committee for discussion on this change.
Mr. Theimer states that it makes sense. Mr. Holcomb said this will be easier to recruit students
to see the program is a wide covering.
Randy Brooks does not like the name change.
Chris Venegas does not agree with the new name. He states there is more automation in the
program than there is energy.
Dakota explained the name should have what is more beneficial for the students. What is more
marketable to the students to keep the program viable?
Casey McShan agrees the name needs to be changed. The current title is misleading.
Mark Holcomb said he is fine with changing the name to something other than what he
presented.
Ken Theimer said “Automation and Electrical Technology” sounds like a fair name.
Randy Brooks states that he likes “Automation and Electrical Technology.” He also said when
you are hired on in the field there aren’t that many people hired on to do both automation and
electrical work.
After much discussion, Ken Theimer asked for a motion to approve the program name change to
Automation and Electrical Technology.
Randy Brooks made motion to approve the program name change as presented.
Casey McShan second the motion.
The motion to approve the program name change as presented passed.
